The Greater Ocean City Theatre Company’s 2024 Summer Children Theatre Series at the Music Pier continues with Charlotte’s Web, The Musical on Tuesday, July 9th at 10:30am.
Charlotte’s Web is based on E.B. White’s loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte. Wilbur has a problem: how to avoid winding up as pork chops! Charlotte, a fine writer and true friend, hits on a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman. She will create a “miracle.” Spinning the words “Some Pig” in her web, Charlotte weaves a solution that not only makes Wilbur a prize pig but also ensures his place on the farm forever. This treasured tale, featuring madcap and endearing farm animals, explores bravery, selfless love, and the true meaning of friendship. This heartfelt tried-and-true classic turned musical will be sure to delight audiences of all ages at the Ocean City Music Pier on Tuesday, July 9 at 10:30 am. The business sponsor of this performance showing their support of the arts and education is JASM Consulting.

JULY 23 – SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS - Seven dwarves, a beautiful girl, a jealous queen, a magic mirror, and a poisoned apple create a diabolical combination in this musical adaptation of the classic Grimm fairy tale.

In the end, Sam and Max learn that there is no such thing as perfect, but there is such a thing as being perfect for each other.
